Dear Friends and Prayer Partners:
“Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.” Judges 5:3
I’m writing you from, my son Andy’s home in, sunny West Valley City, UT. What a beautiful place this is nestled between two towering mountain ranges.
We have had a very busy summer, mostly in Michigan. The first week of June we attended a Missions Conference at Faith Baptist Church of Montgomery, NY. The following Saturday Rose Mary and I celebrated our 45th Wedding anniversary. Our sons Tim and David surprised us for the weekend with their families. Boy did we have a house full with 13 extra guests. It was great ! I spoke again at our home church because of a family emergency in the Pastor’s family. Our next stop was the Kentwood Baptist Church in Kentwood, MI where we shared the ministry of C.O.M.E.. It was well received. The following Wednesday I filled in at the Community Baptist Church in South Bend, IN. What a blessing to be back in one of our supporting churches. We celebrated Father’s Day in Eaton Rapids, MI at the Grace Baptist Church. The following week I attended 2 conferences in PA and OH. The last Sunday of June found us back in Hudsonville, MI.
The Fourth of July found us At Bible Baptist Church in Leslie, MI. The following Sunday found us back at our home church. The following weekend found us in Plainwell, MI at the Orangeville Baptist Church. We had a cancellation and we were back in our home church the last Sunday of July. Rose Mary has wanted some new counter tops in her kitchen and bathrooms. The last week of July found us working hard on this great project. With the help of a dear friend and my son Tim from Indiana we were able to put in some new counter tops, tile floors and sinks. Rose Mary is one happy lady.
The first of August found us at Berlin Baptist Church, Marne, MI. Then it was off to Montgomery, NY for the IFFB Conference. What a blessing. The next Sunday found us back at Grace Baptist Church in Eaton Rapids, MI while Pastor went on vacation. The following week I traveled to Jamaica, NY which is in the Queens borough of NYC. I spent the week with Pastor Stephens in his three month old church plant. We handed out hundreds of flyers and tracts. He has had some visitors since the meeting. Praise the Lord. The following Sunday canceled but we had some dear friends visit from Ohio. It was a blessed time. The last week of August I was back in First Baptist Church of Nebraska City, NE. What a blessing when a young couple came to trust Christ.
We began this month in Tecumseh, NE at Faith Baptist Church and Rose Mary’s family reunion over Labor day. It was a great time of fellowship. This weekend I will be speaking at the Teen Retreat at Camp UTIBACA. Sunday I begin a week of meetings with Trinity Baptist Church in Riverton, UT. The following week I will be with Grace Baptist Church in Vernal, UT. The last Sunday of September I will be with Calvary Baptist Church in Kingman, AZ.
Due to cancellations I have the last two weeks of October open if you would be interested. What a privilege to work with these missionaries and pastors. May God add all the fruit to your account in Glory for your faithful prayers and financial support for our ministry of Missionary Evangelism.
Rose Mary and I praise the Lord for the wonderful TEAM of 16 churches and 9 families that he has raised up to help us with this great ministry of World Wide Missionary Evangelism. We are energized by your prayers and gracious gifts. Together we have been able to accomplish great things for God's glory. We praise the Lord for each and everyone of you. Your investment in this ministry through your prayers and financial support is reaping Eternal Dividends. Do to the condition of the economy we have lost two of our supporting churches for a total of $130.00 per month. Please pray for these dear churches and for more NEW TEAM members.
